JDRF's Promise co-chairs all have a personal connection to type 1 diabetes. As you're about to read, Tom Glass's son Tommy has the disease and Lorraine Stiehl is advocating on behalf of her husband Chris. JDRF is also thrilled to welcome the Promise Campaign's first-ever International Celebrity Advocate Co-Chair, Elliott Yamin. Elliott's voice is heard every day on IPods, Top 20 Countdowns, and during his concerts—and the world loves it. Now, he'll add his voice to our plea to decision-makers in Washington, D.C.: to help fund research to cure him and everyone else who suffers from diabetes.
